Survivability of HBC
Different viruses will "survive" (remain infectious) longer in the environment. Hepatitis C virus (HBC) can remain infectious in the environment - including jewelry, on average, between 16 hours and 4 days.

Disinfecting and Inactivating HBC
Rubbing alcohol is not effective against HBC. The best method for disinfecting surfaces and jewelry is to thoroughly clean it with diluted household bleach (1 part bleach to 10 parts water).

alcohol is someting u drink how would it kill germs idiot. Answer2: 91% alcohol you get from the drugstore and the supermarket is excellent for killing germs. Most of …the hand sanitizers have 65+ percent of alcohol. Stay away from those hand sanitizers with triclosan.

Yes! After my hysterectomy I had bad under arm odar - tried everything and yes I bathe and shave - it wasn;t a sweat issue - just really bad smell - I tried the rubbing al…cohol twice a day on a cotton ball and within 2 days NO SMELL - I know out some is a small spray bottle (travel size) and use this as my sold anti-deodarant. With warmer summer days I do apply a small amount of traditional deodarant butnot much!

Yes - That's why they soak brushes in it at salons. No. Go to WalMart or a local drug store and get the products made to kill lice. No. Go to the drugstore and get the shampoo… made just for this. Yes. According to a reliable source, rubbing alcohol is the most effective and cheapest way to get rid of head lice. After battling lice for 4 months I tried rubbing alcohol. I have to say it worked! It is the only thing that has worked after many bottles of nix, rid, and lice md.

Yes. According to the CDC, alcohol hand sanitizers used properly will kill flu viruses. I don't think you need to clean surfaces with alcohol. Other surface sanitizers can do …that job. See Related Links. The CDC is careful to state that 60% alcohol sanitizers are effective....HOWEVER, many of these products contain as little as 40% alcohol and are not any more effective than plain tap water. There is nothing as effective for "public health" as plenty of plain old soap with lots of warm water to carry the virus bugs down the drain.

The hepatitis A virus is still infectious after ten or twelve hours, even at tempuratures as high as 140 degrees. The hepatitis A virus can be killed by temperatures of 185 de…grees and higher. Chlorine bleach will inactivate the hepatitis A virus, as will any chemical with a pH of greater than 10, but the object or surface will need to be soaked or cleaned for more than 30 seconds to ensure it is inactivated.

NO! But, you can try using a pummis rock and shaving it down then putting athletes foot cream on it. Because of the tolnaftate that is in it it will kill the surface of the wa…rt. The root of the wart should be burned by appling calus remover because it has 17% of a special acid. Ask your doctor about this acid they will tell you. Then whe you are at the root and applied the acid you will be good in a week. And when cleaning the wart use rubbing alcohol, soap and water, then rubbing alcohol again. It worked for me now j hope it works for you.

Not even bleach will kill the Hep C virus most of the time. Hepatitis C can live at least 3 days outside the body (up to a week in some cases) - heat inactivation (autoclave) …will kill the virus. You are much better off washing your hands with soap and water.

Virii like hepatitis actually alter your DNA. Once you have hepatitis, you have it for life. Virii can go through long periods of dormancy where they don't cause harm to int…ernal organs, but can suddenly "switch on" and in the case of hepatitis cause severe damage to your liver. If you think you have been exposed to Hep C it's important to get checked out and then get on a life long treatment regimen.

Hepatitis A virus does not have a lipid envelope around it, and therefore it is somewhat tougher than viruses such as influenza. It might survive the use of hand sanitiz…ers, especially if the virus is present in large amounts, but usually it will work. Soap and water remove the dirt from your hands, which is more effective, whereas hand sanitizers are often just kill organisms without washing them off.
